Volkswagen has revealed the latest member of its ID. electric car family, the ID. Aero concept, which is a preview of the German firm’s first forthcoming electric sedan.

The ID. Aero concept serves as a preview for what will soon be Volkswagen’s first all-electric sedan which is expected to go on sale first in China in 2023 and with the European iteration destined to begin production in the same year at Volkswagen’s Emden production facility. The new electric sedan will be the 6th member of the ID. family following on from the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.6 and the recently-revealed ID. Buzz. More so, Volkswagen says it will be a global model and the ID. Aero is now the new flagship model in the firm’s growing EV portfolio.

Looking at the images of the ID. Aero, it’s certainly more of a production-ready concept. It stands at almost 5-metres long and features a sloping coupe-like roofline that gives it a particularly aerodynamic look (hence the name). In fact, Volkswagen says that the ID. Aero boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.23, which makes it aerodynamically efficient and the firm says that an electric range of up to 620 km is possible (WLTP). Furthermore, the ID. Aero is equipped with a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery. Volkswagen hasn’t divulged any further powertrain-related details, yet.

Volkswagen says that the new ID. sedan will offer an “exceptionally spacious” interior but sadly images of the interior of the ID. Aero concept are not yet available.

As for the production version of the new electric ID. sedan, we expect more definitive details to emerge towards the end 2022 and when they do, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
